to offer any Salah not only started offering Salah but I was also inspired to call Sada-e-Madinah (i.e. to wake up Muslims for Salat-ul-Fajr). I also have the privilege of inviting others to travel with Madani Qafilahs.

Memorising Quran in just one month

Dear Islamic brothers! We should also get into the routine of travelling with Madani Qafilahs in the company of lovers of the Beloved Rasool every month. By virtue of travelling with a Madani Qafilah, one not only gets inspiration to perform good deeds, but he also receives the opportunity to acquire Islamic knowledge. If we have a deep yearning and love for Islamic knowledge, then instead of all engagements and difficulties we will be able to have free time.

Sayyid Ayyub ‘Ali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated that one day A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘Some people who are unaware, write the title of ‘Haafiz’ with my name whereas I don’t deserve it as I am not a Haafiz of the Holy Quran.’ Sayyid Ayyub رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said that A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started memorising the Quran from the very same day. Probably, the duration for that memorization was from having made the Wudu for Salat-ul-‘Isha to the commencement of Jama’at of Salat-ul-‘Isha. A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه memorised one part every day and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه finished the 30 parts on the 30^th day.

On one occasion, A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘I have memorized the Holy Quran in sequence making efforts. I have done so in order that the utterance of the people who write ‘Haafiz’ as a title with my name may not turn out wrong.’ (Hayat-e-A’la Hadrat, vol. 1, pp. 208)

حق پہ مَبنی تھا جس کا ہر فتوٰی          واہ کیا بات اعلٰی حضرت کی
